That's all for Soremachi. This is my favorite manga so I hope you all enjoyed.
Rereading this is always a treat since there are so many details to find, so be sure to read it again sometime.

Check out /a/non's Q&As with Ishiguro too for more insight into his mind.

Episode 130: Girl

This is the final episode.

I read this as a continuation from the previous "Gone with the Storm"

It can be read as the state of the classroom after Ayutori has disappeared.

In fact, the first half was a rehearsal for a play that Ayutori had written.

However, for some reason, Ayutori appears.

First of all, it's a small detail, but the first half of "Girl A"

It's a rehearsal for a play, so everyone is acting.

Characters who are acting are not accompanied by cartoonish expressions such as "sweaty."

Asai was the only one who was sweating because he had accidentally messed up his lines.

"Onodera Mental Clinic" and "My Mother's Name is Eiko" are fictional settings in scripts that Ayutori wrote for the stage. In the actual performance, the audience seats are to the left of the blackboard, so Suzuki and the others open their bodies to that side when acting.

Well... I'll leave the interpretation of the final episode up to you. However, there is one interpretation I would recommend.

For some reason, I confused Ayutori's lines with the author's lines, and I couldn't think of a punchline so I threw out a meta-throw.

Ge END

---That's fine, but at the very least, this is an interpretation that falls short of what was expected, so if you can't think of anything else, it would be better for you to take a look at the answer I'll write below.

A scene from Ayutori's three years of high school, the script deadline

At first glance, the ending seems like a meta throwaway punchline, as the scene where he is chased and runs away is in the last frame of the final episode.

--But that's okay. It's a gimmick unique to chronological shuffling.

However, there is more to come.

As the afterword to volume 10 says, "Read it again and if you're satisfied, then move on to the epilogue," the answer lies in the previously published volumes.

This is the longest by far, had to split it in 2
"An ending that seems like a meta punchline" is just a final episode that uses a gimmick, and there's no punchline.

The trouble is, even after the final episode, it's still going strong.

is.

So, I would like you to find your final chapter among the previously published works.

If your heart desires that "Walking Bird" be the final episode, that's fine, but especially since many episodes come to an end between the latter half of volume 155 and volume 150, you can choose your favorite story as the final episode. I hope you'll be able to interpret the final episode freely in that way.

I'm happy.

It's truly a writer's greatest joy.

However, there is one answer, or rather a recommended interpretation, the true ending. This has gotten long, but since the circular bulletin board is filled with honest spoilers and behind-the-scenes stories, I will write down the answer.

If the final episode, "Girl A," is a play, then what was the lead-up, episode 128, "Gone with the Wind"? This question serves as a guidepost to the true ending, and what follows after "To be continued," in which the switch that turns off the typhoon in exchange for her own life is pressed, is page 119 of volume 14.

This reveals that the fundamental fear that lies deep in Ayutori's memories, as told in "Dream Novel," is not "not being needed by anyone" but "the loss of everyone's future."

Ayutori hoped that everyone would stay the same and that she would be needed, and her ultimate wish was for everyone's future.

And if you remember, please tell me

" ~" Shizu-neechan said as she left the cafe. Now that I think about it, the relationship between these two hasn't been resolved at all.

That was...

Thanks a bunch, OP. I can finally close the GIMP tab I was using to stitch these.
Epilogue: "And then"

The basic premise of "Soremachi" is Ayutori's three years of high school, and the relationship between Ayutori and Shizu-neechan is evenly

It seems that it remained balanced and did not move.

So here's the epilogue.

The epilogue takes us a little further into the future than the basic three years.

The final scene is an image of an arrest.

Bonus: Here's the synopsis of Ayutori's novel, which is cut off and unreadable.

"Shuffle City... Mitsu, a lonely but socially awkward college student, meets a strange man who is obsessed with the delusion that the map of the city changes every day.

The layout of the various buildings has changed so dramatically that it's impossible to walk down the street. What's more, he says he's the only one who's noticed this.

At first, Mitsu doesn't take it seriously, but one day, he becomes embroiled in a strange murder case in which the buildings appear to have been swapped places...

I haven't thought about the details.

Finally, can I say a few words about this re-run guide?

It was long. It was about the length of a novel.

I'm so sorry for keeping you company until the end.

I love this epilogue and I'll try to explain why.

First, I think if people have any legitimate flaw with the epilogue it's that it doesn't give us enough of the update on other Soremachi characters. The ending is almost entirely Hotori focused and the chapters giving closure to Ryou, Kon and Tatsuno all come a bit before the actual end of the manga. I don't care about this because to me Hotori has always been the main character of Soremachi.

But I think we do get enough: we see the default reaction 'Congratulations!' and then we get the slightly different reactions of Ryou, Fukuzawa, Tatsuno, Sanada, Yukiko, Kon and Granny, in which we see their distinctive personality traits and relationships with Hotori are preserved and in some senses how they may have grown up (it's funny Yukiko is less excited than Kon, for example).

We also see the old man Hotori was in hospital with who says "Nah it's not a big deal" >>281532692. Is he talking about Hotori's special mention as a writer? It follows a sequence of people congratulation her for it and he was a sour old man, but probably not. I think this is just Ishiguro playing with assumptions as he has for the whole manga. Hotori left this guy with a new lease on life and he was in a wheelchair: this is probably the first time he has come to Seaside as he promised or the first time Hotori has seen him out of the wheelchair. So I love that we see a relationship important to Hotori, and someone she is important to, that has never been featured in the whole manga after the hospital. It shows that there's still things we haven't seen at all about Hotori's life even as we've been reading.

I see the sequence here as everyone going 'OMG! Congrats!' when they see Hotori but Hotori seeing this guy and going 'OMG! You can walk!' first to which he replies 'It's not a big deal'.

But my favourite part of the epilogue is the meeting with Shizuka. In the second to last chapter we see Hotori overwhelmed by the thought of giving everyone a 'before' and 'after', a change separated by the tragic memory of the typhoon. The fact is people and things are changing all the time, every day, the town in Soremachi IS altering and moving all the time, but Hotori hates the idea of a big, fundamental change.

When Shizuka is going to meet Hotori she runs through imaginary scenarios based on the Hotori she knows >>281532747 >>281532764. This is the Hotori we've seen reading about for 3 years of her life in Soremachi, or more arguably it's that Hotori as Shizuka nee-san has seen her (so perhaps a little more childish, a little less capable than the real thing). But then we hit the page turn here >>281532784 and you know what? That Hotori is already gone. The Hotori we've been reading about has already disappeared. She is 2 years older now, she is immediately recognisable as a young woman and not as a HS student, just as much change if not more has happened in those 2 years as in the preceding 3. And that's what most changes are like: they're not big, dramatic changes like before and after a typhoon. They're small incemental changes that take you to different places and over time leave a lasting impact that builds up. They're things you may not even realise until you stop to think about them. And that to me is the bittersweet element of Soremachi, that we get a little snapshot of a time and place that cannot last forever but which is worth being preserved, but not at the cost of not living, and - if it can't be preserved - worth taking enjoyment in.

Faced with the reality the Hotori she imagined is gone, she realises Hotori is now more of an adult and more her peer >>281532795 >>281532808, and in fact had far outpaced the mystery Shizuka imagined she was still leaving for her. Shizuka is momentarily shocked, overwhelmed with the grief of losing Hotori the child and with happiness and pride at that child that she loved growing up and prospering. Accepting it after a moment she takes Hotori's hand and congratulations her as a fellow author. There will be a before and after in memory here for Shizuka, but not for Hotori.

It's a beautiful ending moment to a wonderful manga, by far my favourite SoL manga ever. Thank you so much for dumping it OP. I had not read the author notes before and it was great to read it with /a/ and get to experience them for the first time too.

This manga always holds a special place in my heart because I first started reading it around 2018 when I was homeless.

Sitting in a corner all day in the university library charging my phone and reading manga like Dungeon Meshi to distract myself from starving and that lowest point of my life.

Also, maybe dumping a volume each sunday could be more fitting, at least that's when I have the most time to read and engage in the thread.

Many characters have birthdays on dates that are just one addition/subtraction from being the same month as day (8/9 instead of 8/8 or 9/9). I wonder if there's a meaning or if it's just Ishiguro that tries to avoid the typical anime trope of every character having a "dual-number" birthdate.

I love how the final chapter plays with the timeline one last time. The obvious intention is to trick the reader into thinking that this continues from the previous chapter but you can see from the clothes she's wearing that this is actually setup for chapter 118. You can see from her clothes >>281505474 that when Hotori gets erased from existence she gets sent to the alternate reality.
I also like that this chapter ends on one of the more subtle buildups in the manga. Hotori has been writing that play for a long time and seeing that passion in real use is cute. Then seeing her become a writer in the epilogue is so satisfying. She didn't know how to finish her play but she clearly grew a lot between those two points. I love it.

You wonder if Ishiguro always knew he would build in these hints and timeline signals to the final chapter or if he looked back to incorporate them when writing it. IIRC he has a very detailed timeline he uses for Tengoku so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was all assembled far in advance.

I think a lot of the things from the earliest volumes are simply callbacks, little details that he decided to reuse. However I think after 3 or 4 volumes most of the details are planned. That's around the point where Ishiguro started to get an idea of what he wanted for the manga and the storylines become much more intricate. I don't doubt the details in the final chapters were carefully planned years in advance.

thank you for posting OP. I thought this manga was just gonna be about Seaside Cafe coming up with ways to bring in customers, which is funny because I don't recall seeing too many people outside of the main cast gathered inside the cafe. I thought it was sad for granny but I realized she was just taking care of her town. I would buy this manga if it had a physical release. I don't know how many people we had reading along but you should all thank OP. Some video I was watching on Soremachi on YT made the joke that this series' lack of a good physical release has "doomed this series to a realm of obscurity that is a slow, drawn-out discussion thread with about 12 IPs trying as hard as they can to generate conversation." No matter how many people we had reading along, just letting you guys know this gave me something to look forward to everyday.

Thanks OP! Reading this with anons has been great, picking up all the details I had missed and having cool discussions. Also, bringing up points that I could never even think about.
I actually started at chapter 44 with the daily, then became obsessed and read it all from the beginning, while also keeping up with the dailies, so this ended being my second read.
This manga is a real treasure, I'm glad I discovered it recently when the whole thing is already scanlated. Like Hotori, I also wanted things to stay the same. I remember feeling nostalgia as early as 13 yo. Summers always had a certain feel and smell up to that point, but it started fading. I could not be happy about some things that always seemed to bring joy, even christmas started loosing it's magical touch.
It's scary realising how most of the things I enjoy at some point will be uninteresting or forgotten (well, there are obviously some that can stand the test of time). But now I realise that just means I have changed. I've recently stopped resenting this, and think of this as leaving some space for new things to come. Even revisiting old things I enjoyed a long time ago brings up a new experience.
The daily ends today, on one of the few last days of summer, at least for where I'm living right now. I think I will control myself and meet OP and the other Soredemo anons on the next one for the chronological dump. Let's see what things will change by then. Meido!

I love Ishiguro's show-don't-tell approach to manga. This whole work is a masterclass in comics, not writing excessive dialog, impeccable paneling, simple yet expressive and realistic character designs, line economy, not falling into same-face problems, the little details and foretelling... simply a great use of the medium.

Thank you anon for doing this Soremachi reread! I missed the first daily so it was nice to join in this one. I always get emotional reading the epilogue and it's like my 5th reread. There's something so perfect about it. It focuses on the culmination of the growth of Hotori, instead of romance like most manga do. And it was absolutely the right choice.

It's nice that more and more new Soremachi fans are appearing and its relative unpopularity kind of gatekeeps threads like this to be as chill as it is.

I'll forever be glad that Ishiguro-sensei was willing to share two Q&As, it was fun organizing and posting it.

I'm confused how chapter 120 "the lobster returns a favor" can be chronologically so far before chapter 33 "very weak card" as in the former Takeru & Ebi have clearly been together for a while and the latter is their first sort-of date when she invites herself to the Arashiyama house

I think 42 "school labyrinth guide" is where she notices she likes him, I don't think there are any other chapters chronologically after 120 (1st year February) but before 42 (2nd year October) with the two of them (but I might be wrong please say if I missed any).
